As part of the ongoing geographical expansion of the Neuse Estuary Monitoring Project (NEMP), the Center for Applied Aquatic Ecology installed its recently patented Nautilus™ Water Column Profiling System.

The real-time data gathered by the Nautilus, is available on this website, at the Kiawah Island page, and our other sites are available on the Real-Time Remote Monitoring page.
